Yes bitcoin is somehow a currency and asset. It provides money to every users which we can used in pur daily lives or fornthe things that we need. The fact why people keep it because it gives profit to them every time bitcoin price increase. As of now it still a virtual currency because the government doesnt accept it. On the hand bitcoin still useful as you can have a fiat currency with it by just converting.
